1. Chapter 1

**Author's Note**

**This is my first story that I have written for FanFiction. I have been reading stories for a while and decided to see if I could have any success. **

**BPOV**

As I looked down at my sleeping angels I couldn't help the smile that crept onto my face. Avery and Noah were my entire life. Growing up I never would have imagined that at only 19, I would be a single mother to newborn twins: Avery Elizabeth, Noah Michael. I wish that they could have a father figure in their lives but since I don't know who that is and no guy is going to want to date a mother of three, I am all that they have. My mother and father were both killed in a car accident when I was around 7 months pregnant. I miss my parents and would give almost anything to have them back. I only thank god that my parents were smart enough to have life insurance policies, because without those me and my babies would be homeless.

With the money I got back from the insurance company I moved out of forks and to St. Louis MO where I would be I would be attending college at Washington University. I have always wanted to be a physical therapist and Washington University has one of the best Physical Therapy programs in the United States. I decided against living on campus because I figured with the babies, living a house would be easier. I found the perfect home in Brentwood, close enough to campus but still in a nice subdivision. My house had four bedrooms, which allowed for me to have a study/office and for the twins to eventually have their own bedrooms. I loved my house; it was perfect for me and the babies. Since I was planning on staying in St. Louis after I finished college I chose a house that was big enough that we could continue to live here for a long time.

For now I decided to keep the babies in the same room for convenience. For the nursery I chose the room that was closest to my room and painted it a light tan color and chose two different colors of the same bedding. Noah's bedding was blue and Avery's was pink. My room was painted a bright white with a green border that matched the bedding. For my bedding I chose a green and white flower print design. I paint the living room/ kitchen in two shades of green, one wall being a dark sage and the remaining walls in a light sage. My living room furniture was a brown microfiber couch and love seat. My end tables were a dark espresso that matched my kitchen table and chairs.

Noah and Avery were two months old and classes were starting next week. I had been able to find a babysitter that lived on my street that was willing to watch the babies while I was in class for $300 a week. This was perfect because I was able to go to my classes on Monday, Wednesday and, Friday and then find a part time job on Tuesdays and Thursdays for some extra money. While I was a little nervous about being alone with two babies in a new city I decided that I was going to make the most of my new life.

***************

I had just dropped Noah and Avery off at the babysitters and was on my way to campus so that I could pick up my books and few supplies that I needed before class started at 10 am. As I was looking for my book I ran straight into what could only be described as a Greek God. He had messy bronze "sex" hair, piercing green eyes and was about 6'4. He was absolutely gorgeous! I was brought out of my musing when I heard him asking me a question. "Are you all right?"

"What? Oh yeah I'm fine. I just wasn't paying attention to where I was walking." I responded.

He chuckled while saying "I could tell". I was mortified!

"Oh my gosh, are you ok? I mean I was that one that ran into you." I asked when I finally got my composure back.

He started laughing again and I caught myself thinking that I could listen to him laugh all day. "Yeah I'm fine. I'm Edward Masen, by the way."

"Bella Swan, nice to meet you." I said sticking my hand out for him to shake. He took my hand to shake it when I felt a spark. I looked up at him wondering if he felt it too, I couldn't tell but he did have a questioning look on his face. As we were releasing our hands a petite black haired bounced up to Edwards side, of course he would already have a girlfriend, not that it matters anyway because there is now way he would want to be with me even before he found out that I have kids.

The pixie like girl cleared her throat to get Edwards attention which caused him to snap out of his day dream. "Bella this is Alice Cullen, my cousin. Alice this is Bella Swan." I stuck my hand out to shake hers but she obviously had another plan in mind when she pulled me into a hug.

"It's so nice to meet you Bella; I can tell that we are going to be great friends."

"It's nice to meet you as well Alice. I'm sorry but I really need to finish finding my books, my class starts in an hour and a half and I want to have to run the extras to my car." I told them.

"Oh, that's ok I need to finish finding my books as well, we can finish together. I'm sure that Edward can help as well, cant you Edward."

"What? Oh yeah I still have a few to find myself." He said.

"Great!" Said Alice "What classes do you still need to find books for Bella?"

"Umm I need: English, History, Biology and, Psychology. I already have my book for Math. " I told her looking at my schedule.

"Edward, what about you?" Alice asked.

Edward looked down at his list before responding, "Just Biology"

Alice looked down at her list and said "I just need History and Drawing". When we were about halfway through with our shopping is when the interrogations began.

The first question that Alice asked was, "So Bella, where are you from?"

"Well I grew up in Forks, a tiny town about four hours from Seattle but then my dad got a new job and we all moved to Phoenix when I was a freshman in high school. What about you guys?" I said.

Alice piped up and said "Well I'm from the St. Louis Area but I live about an hour outside of the city, in O'Fallon."

"I grew up in about an hour outside of Chicago in Burr Ridge." Edward told me "I have always lived there with my parents."

I asked the next question, "Do either of you have any brothers or sisters?"

Edward answered first this time, "No, it was just me and my parents but, my parents had me pretty young so I am very close with them."

"Yeah same here, just me and my parents. My mom had a rough birth with me and couldn't have any more children. But my parents did have a lot of foster children, so I was never really alone. What about you Bella?"

"Yeah just me but in Forks I had my best friends Becca and Rachel. My dad and their dad were best friends so we did everything together, we were like sisters."

"So Bella are you living on Campus?" Edward asked and then added. "Alice and I are sharing a Condo just outside of the campus."

I was a little nervous about telling them where I lived because I knew that it would inevitably bring Noah and Avery and I didn't want them to think that I was a slut who went around have sex with just anyone. But I decided just to trust that they would make me feel like that so I just went and told them the truth. "Umm, I live in a house in Brentwood."

They both had a questioning look on their face but, Alice was the brave one that asked "Brentwood, why?"

I hesitated for a second before telling them "Well, I have two kids so I need extra space and I didn't really want my kids growing up in the city. In the house I bought we can live there for a while so I won't have to worry about moving in a few years when I graduate." Both of their eyes widened when I mentioned that I was a mom.

"Wow, you're a mom, I never would have guessed. How old are they?" Alice asked after she composed herself.

"They are two months old." I told them.

Alice squealed, "Aww, how cute! What are their names, when can I meet them and where are they now?"

"Woah Alice breathe" chuckled Edward, shaking his head.

I looked at Edward and asked "Is she always like this?"

"Yeah" he said "But whenever you bring up shopping or makeovers or anything like that she gets worse". Wow I don't really see how she could get any more excited about something so I just took his word for it.

"Ok, I will make sure to steer clear of those topics when I'm around her" I said. Edward just laughed and smiled crookedly at me, swoon. When I looked over at Alice she had a scowl on her face.

"Bella, enough stalling and answer my questions" Alice growled at me.

"Well there names are Noah Michael and Avery Elizabeth, I guess you could meet them soon, and right now they are at a babysitters" I told her.

Alice smiled and responded "Those names are just too cute and I can't wait to meet them. Ohh, I know we should have a slumber party at your house this weekend."

"Alice, you can't just go around inviting yourself places, Bella could already have plans this weekend." Edward chastised.

"Oh, it's no problem Edward, I don't have any plans. Hey Alice?" She looked at me when I said her name "I would love to have company this weekend. But my house is still a little bare; it is hard to decorate with two new babies".

"Yeah! And I don't care about your decorations or lack thereof I just want to hang out with you." She replied. I smiled at her. "You know what, I bet that Rose would just love to come and meet you and the twins, she loves babies."

"Sure Alice, the more the merrier." I said with a smile on my face. The rest of the time that we spent shopping consisted of Alice and occasionally Edward telling me about Rosalie, Jasper and Emmett. I learned that Emmett is also a cousin to Edward and Alice. Rosalie is Emmett's girlfriend and Jasper is Rosalie's twin brother and Alice's boyfriend. They also told me that they all share a condo that is pretty close the Edward and Alice's condo.

When we arrived at my car to drop off the books that I didn't need for class today I heard Edward whistle. "Wow that is a nice car Bella".

"Thanks" I said "I needed something with enough room for two car seats and not a minivan. I may be a mother but I don't think that I can pull off the minivan look" I told him laughing. My Lexus was the first thing that I bought with my parent's life insurance money. I loved it; it was a midnight blue and the perfect car for me.

Edward was looking at me with a crooked smile on his face and said "Yeah I agree with you on that one. I think that you are defiantly more of an SUV person." Oh my God that smile is making me weak at the knees.

"Ok, well it was nice meeting you guys but I really have to head to class. Here is my cell phone number Alice, just call me sometime so that we can make plans for this weekend." I said while hooking my backpack over my shoulders.

"Thanks" She said as I handed her the piece of paper with my number on it "I talk to Rose and she if she has any plans this weekend then I will give you a call"

"Ok see ya later Alice" I told her told while I was giving her a hug. After I released her I turned to Edward and stuck my hand out because I thought it would be a little awkward for me to give him a hug like I did for Alice. "It was nice meeting you Edward".

"It was very nice meeting you as well Bella; I hope we will be seeing each other again soon." He responded while shaking my hand and giving me a wink. I felt my cheeks burn in embarrassment, I couldn't believe that this Greek God was flirting with me, plain jane Bella Swan.

***************

My classes went by fairly fast and before I knew it, it was 3:30 and I was picking up Noah and Avery from the babysitters. "Hi Mrs. Cope. I hope they went too much trouble for you today."

"Bella, how many times do I have to tell you to call me Sarah? Avery was a little fussy around two but, I gave her some Mylicon drops and she was fine after that; she just had a little gas is all." Mrs. Cope told me. "Noah was a perfect gentleman all day. The last time they ate was around two when Avery was fussy. They each ate around three ounces. "

"Was there enough diapers and wipes for you today?" I asked since I was sure exactly how many diapers each baby would need today.

"Yes there was just enough to last for today, but you will need to bring some more with you next time." She told me.

I wondered if Mrs. Cope, I mean Sarah, would let me bring a plastic storage cart to keep here so I wouldn't have to constantly be bringing diapers and wet wipes, along with a pack 'n play. I decided that it could hurt, so I asked her. "Mrs. Cope," I saw her narrow her eyes at me, so I started over. "Sarah, I was wondering if I could leave a pack 'n play here and also if I could bring a plastic storage cart over so that there will be a place to keep all of their things. This way I wouldn't have to bring things back and forth and also you would always have things available to you."

Sarah smiled at me and replied. "I think that would a wonderful idea."

"Ok, great! I'll bring the stuff sometime this week, if I have chance to go shopping for stuff. I really can't express how grateful I am that you are helping me out like this. I don't know what I would do without you." I told her with a smile on my face.

"You're welcome Bella. I really enjoyed having them today, they are just little angels." She said.

As I was finishing packing up the twins stuff I turned to Sarah and said. "Ok well I better be going, they are probably going to be hungry here in a little bit."

"Ok dear, I will see you on Wednesday. Bye!" She told me with a smile on her face.

"Bye! I'll see you Wednesday." I responded.

Once I got the babies home and into bed, it was 10 o'clock and I was exhausted. As I lay down in my bed, I started thinking about Edward and Alice. I was so happy that I was able to make friends on my first day and, that they already knew about Noah and Avery. I was worried that even if I did make friend in some of my classes, I wouldn't tell them about the twins this soon. The whole situation was better than I could have hoped for.

As I was thinking about Edward, I felt my face begin to blush, _god what is wrong with me, he is not even here and I am blushing. _I still couldn't decide if he was flirting with me or if I was reading way too much into the wink. Ugh, this is so frustrating. I told myself that I would just follow his lead and go from there. While I wasn't looking for any type of romantic relationship, I decided that I wasn't going to stop one from beginning and I was just going to go with the flow, so to speak.

**EPOV **

Bella, as I thought her name I couldn't control the smile that was on my face. It has been three days since we literally ran into each at the bookstore and I couldn't stop thinking about her. She was so beautiful, big chocolate brown eyes, luscious brown hair and, the most beautiful voice ever. Her voice was so soft and serene, so unlike many of the other girls that I had met since I had been in college. I was beginning my sophomore year and had not even looked twice at any women, until Bella, since my junior year of high school when I broke up with Tanya. Even when I found out that she had two young kids, I couldn't care less; if anything I think that it made her even more beautiful. Most women her age would have given up their child or just not gone to college and here she is on her own with two new babies and is beginning her first year of college away from everything that she knows.

My thoughts shifted back to the day that Alice and I met her. _"Oh Edward, I love Bella! I know that I just meet her, but I have a feeling that we are going to be best friends."Alice told squealed._

_ "Yes Alice, Bella seems like she would be a wonderful friend for you." I placated her. _

_ "Edward" She said, narrowing her eyes at me "What are you hiding? You like her don't you!" How could she see that so easily, am I really that easy to read? I decided against outright telling her the truth and went with a more subtle approach because with Alice, if I told her the truth she would never drop it. _

_ So I scoffed at her and said "Yes Alice I think that she is a very nice person."_

_ "Don't lie to me Edward Masen, you know that it is impossible to lie to me; I can tell that you like her more than that." Damn how does she do that? Again I scoff so that I can try and avoid telling her the truth. "Edward, do not scoff at me again." She cut me off before I could say anything. _

_ "Ok fine, I think that she is insanely gorgeous and would love nothing more than to take her out on a date. But she has two new babies and dating someone is probably the last thing she wants to do right now." I said with an underlying saddened tone of voice._

_ Alice gave me a small smile and told me "Just ask her out on a date. What is the worst that could happen? Sure she could say no, but then all you have to do is just be her friend and wait until she is more ready to date and then ask her again. And you know what, I'll help you out. If she needs a babysitter I will gladly watch the babies; I could even make Jasper help me."_

_ I smiled as she was talking. "Thank you Alice, I really appreciate it. And of course Jasper would help you, he can't say no to you ever. You have him so wrapped around your finger it's not even funny." Alice's smile widened as I mentioned Jasper. Their kind of relationship is the kind that I hope to have one day. They are madly in love with each other and would move mountains for the others happiness and well being. Come to think of it, that is exactly how every relationship that I see regularly is: Alice and Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett, Mom and Dad, Esme and Carlisle. It gives me hope that I will be as happy as they all are and, I hope that Bella is it for me. She is everything that I want in a significant other. _

_ "Edward you know that I love you and would do anything to see you happy and if you think that Bella will make you happy then I will gladly help you." She said_

I was broken out of my thoughts when I heard Alice start screaming from her room so I jumped up off the couch and ran to her room. "Alice? Are you okay?" I yelled as I was making my way to her room. When I reached her room I saw Alice jumping up and down on her bed, still screaming. When she didn't notice me at the door I decided to make my presence known. "Alice!" I yelled and she stopped jumping at turned to look at me. "What are you doing?" I asked her.

"Guess who I just got off the phone with?" She asked in a sing song voice.

Rolling my eyes at her, I responded "Jasper and he just got paid and wants to take you shopping." She is absolutely insane when it comes to shopping. Not even just clothes shopping, it's any kind of shopping: grocery and furniture just to name a few.

"No Edward, it wasn't Jasper but, he is taking me shopping some." She deadpanned. "It was Bella to make plans for the weekend." This caught my attention and I could vaguely her Alice talking in the background, but right now all of my thoughts were of Bella. "EDWARD! Did you even hear a word that I just said?"

"Umm, no I didn't" I told her sheepishly.

"God Edward, what am I going to do with you? Anyway, as I was saying, that was Bella and she said that she was free the whole weekend and as long as it is newborn friendly we could do anything that I wanted. But she did say that she needed to get some things for the twin's babysitter and asked if I could help her and of course I told her yes. We are going to go over there Friday after classes are over and get her shopping out of the way. I am planning on spending the night with Rose but I think that you and the boys might have to leave, I'm not sure." Yes! I get to see Bella on Friday; it has been too long since I last saw her. "I was thinking that we could all go and visit my parents on Saturday and then on Sunday we can all just relax at Bella's." Alice continued.

I began chuckling at her eagerness and told her that I thought that it all sounded like a good idea and left her room so that she could call Rose and tell her the tentative plans for the weekend. Flopping down on my bed, my thoughts drifted back to Bella for what felt like the millionth time today and fell asleep with a huge smile on my face.

***************

The rest of the week went by insanely slow and now it was finally Friday. I would get to see Bella today and I was so excited. As soon as classes were over I went back to the condo to pick up Alice and my bag, just in case the boys were allowed to stay. When I pulled up to my building I saw Alice waiting on the sidewalk with both of your bags in hand. "Hey Alice; are you ready to go?" I asked her as she was jumping into my Volvo.

"Of course I'm ready Edward; I have been waiting all week." She exclaimed.

I began to laugh at her eagerness and said, "Okay, okay clam down pixie". Once Alice was comfortable I turned on my IPod and turned up the volume. The entire way to Bella's Alice was literally buzzing with excitement, she could not hold still and it was beginning to drive me a little nuts. "Alice, you really need to hold still; your constant bouncing and moving is driving me crazy" I told her sternly.

She stopped her movements and looked at me and sheepishly said, "Sorry Edward, I am just really excited to see Bella and meet Noah and Avery."

"I know Alice, but if you don't calm down I am going to show Jasper those pictures of you from high school" I said to her teasingly. During Alice's freshman year of high school our Aunt Carmen sent her the most ridiculous sweater ever. It had a furry dog on it and when you touched its nose it started to bark at you. Now Alice would never wear something like this on her own but her mom, Esme, made her wear it around Thanksgiving so that Aunt Carmen could see that Alice appreciated her gift. I just couldn't pass up on the opportunity and took a picture of her and have been using it as blackmail ever since.

She narrowed her eyes and replied, "You wouldn't dare."

"Oh yes I would" I said with a smirk on my face.

"Fine, I will calm down, but I'm not happy about it." She responded with a huff. I smiled at her reaction. The rest of the drive to Bella's house was uneventful and before I knew I was parking my car in her driveway.

***************

**BPOV**

The first week of classes went by without any problems and so far I am enjoying my classes and instructors. I had gotten a part time job at a library on campus; I worked there on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

The babies and I had settled into somewhat of a routine. In the mornings, I would wake up at 7 and take my shower while Noah and Avery were still asleep from their 4 AM feeding. I would then blow dry and straighten my hair and then put on my robe; I didn't want to get my clothes dirty when I had to feed the twins so it was better just to wait until afterwards. While I wait for the babies to wake up I finish and school work that I didn't get to the night before and then make some bottles for the day, so that Mrs. Cope didn't have to . I would be finished with all of that around 8; around that time is when the babies would get up for their morning feedings. After I nursed both babies I got them dressed for the day. I normally put them into their little rompers so that they were comfortable all day. After I got them dressed I put them into their bouncers so that I could finish getting ready and pack the diaper bag with extra clothes for the day. At 10:30 we headed to Mrs. Cope's and I then headed to the campus and stayed there from 11:30 until around 4.

I picked up the twins around 4:30 and then nursed them as soon as we got home. Afterwards I put them to bed so that I could do any homework that I received that day and just let myself relax and made my dinner until the babies work up for their 8 PM feeding. I put the babies back into bed around 9:30 and would head to bed myself. During the night they usually ate every four hours. I was lucky that they were both usually hungry at the same time or I would never get any sleep. Then we would begin our day all over again.

It gets tedious after a few days of doing the same thing every day but this was the easiest way for me to get everything done that needed to get done. Sometimes I wished that I had someone to help me and that would get me to think about my parents and, it was just too difficult to think about. I had resolved myself into thinking that I would be all that Noah and Avery had.

***************

On Friday after I picked up Noah and Avery from Mrs. Cope's I took the babies home, nursed them and, then changed their clothes. I had found the cutest shirts that said "He's Trouble" and "She's Trouble" and I decided to put those on them with a simple pair of matching pants. I wanted the babies to clean clothes for when our guests came over. After I fed and changed the twins I put them in their bouncers so that I could clean up any messes around the house. I wanted to make a good impression tonight.

I was so excited to be making some new friends but I was also really nervous at the same time. When I told Edward and Alice about Noah and Avery, they didn't seem like they had made any judgments about me but I could not say the same for the others that were coming over. Emmett, Rosalie and, Jasper were coming over with Edward and Alice and this would be the first time that I met any of them. I had no idea if they even knew that I was a mom, let alone that I had infant twins.

While I was playing with the babies, who were still in their bouncers, I heard a knock on the door. I got up, took a deep breath and opened the door. As soon as I opened the door Alice gave me a huge hug and said; "Hi Bella, how are you? Where are those little babies, I can't wait to meet them. I bet they are as beautiful as you are." I felt my cheeks flush in embarrassment from her compliment.

Alice's little rant was broken off by Edward saying "Hi Bella, it nice to see you again. You will have to forgive Alice she has been so excited for this weekend."

"It's nice to see you also Edward and don't worry Alice, I have been excited also." I told them honestly.

"HA, see Edward, Bella is just as excited as I am for this weekend." Alice told Edward, while throwing her arm around my shoulders.

"So where is everyone else?" I questioned them.

"They are on their way. Jasper didn't get out of class until 5:30." Edward told me. I nodded my head in understanding. "It's 6 now so they should be here soon."

Our conversation was cut off by a soft cry from the living room. "So, you guys want to meet my little angels?" I asked them both, with a nervous smile on my face.

"Of course we want to meet them!" Alice squealed.

Edward laughed at her and said to me, "Lead the way."

We walked over to where the babies were and I picked up Noah and said, "This is my little man, Noah." I handed Noah to Alice who was holding out her arms and then I picked up Avery and continued, "And this is my little princess, Avery. Do you want to hold her Edward?"

I asked him and her nodded his head and held out his arms to grab her. I smiled and handed her to Edward.

"Bella" Alice said "these are probably the cutest babies that I have ever seen."

"Thank you, I completely agree, although I am a little bias." I replied with a small chuckle.

We continued playing with the babies until I heard a knock on the door. I stood up and walked to the door feeling a little apprehensive. I hoped that we would all get along and that they loved Noah and Avery as much as it appeared that Edward and Alice did. When I opened the door I saw three of the most beautiful people that I have ever seen. But of course that make sense considering how beautiful Alice and Edward are. Snapping out of my thoughts I greeted my new guests. "Hi, you guys must be Emmett, Jasper and Rosalie. I'm Bella."

When I was done speaking I was pulled into a giant bear hug by a giant bear of a man. "Hey Squirt, it's great to finally meet you, Eddie and the Pixie have talked about you non-stop this week." I felt my face heat up from hearing that Edward was talking about me this week. It gave me hope that there could be something more between us.

"Don't mind him; he is still learning what the definition of personal space means". Said, who I assumed was Rosalie.

"Hey!" Emmett interjected.

"I'm Rosalie; that goon over there is my boyfriend Emmett and that is my brother Jasper." She told me pointing them out.

"Hi." I said.

Jasper stuck his hand out and I took it while he responded, "Hi Bella, it's great to meet you."

"It's great to meet you as well. Why don't you guys come inside and meet Noah and Avery." I lead them into the living room where Edward and Alice were still playing with the twins.

"Ok, Edward is holding Avery and Alice is holding Noah." I told the three of them as we were walking into the living room.

Rosalie immediately went over to Edward and took Avery out of his arms and said, "She is gorgeous Bella and he is very handsome."

I smiled and said, "Thank you."

"Okay." Alice said jumping up off the couch. "Let's go shopping so that we can have the rest of the night to get to know each other better." We all nodded our head in agreement.

While I was putting the babies in their car seats we worked out the driving arrangements, the girls would ride with me and the babies in my Lexus and the boys would ride with Edward in his Volvo. As I reached down to grab both car seats Edward stopped me and picked up Noah's carrier and when I gave him a confused look he said, "There is no need for you to carry both when I am perfectly capable of carrying one for you."

"Thank you Edward. I really appreciate it." I told him with a smile. We all got into the cars and headed to the store.

**AUTHOR'S NOTE**

**I hope you like Edwards POV, but I will admit that I found it a lot harder to write than Bella's POV and that is why I switched halfway through. I will try to add a little Edward POV to each chapter, but this story will mostly be in Bella's perspective. The next chapter will be the rest of the weekend. Thank you for reading; let me know what you think by hitting that little green button. I would love to hear some of your thoughts on ways you think that I can improve my writing. Until next time!**
